This page contains trivia for "Medicinal Fried Chicken". Remember, trivia must be factual, provable, and it is always best to cite your source for not-so-obvious trivia. If you would like to dispute a trivia point, please discuss it in the talk page.

Trivia

  • The condition of Randy and the other men appears to be Elephantiasis of the scrotum rather than testicular cancer. Of course, the increased size is a humorous exaggeration of the tumors in their testicles.
  • In this episode Cartman is seen eating whole pieces of KFC when in "The Death of Eric Cartman" it is hinted that he only likes the skins.
  • In real life, Colonel Harland David Sanders has been deceased since 1980.
  • KFC was really founded in North Corbin, Kentucky.
  • Kenny has no lines and isn't shown again after they find out that KFC has been replaced. This is also the last time we see Kyle in this episode as well. (Stan is seen a few more times during the episode but only very briefly).
  • One of the Miller's aides, Kevin, has previously appeared in "Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo".
  • Ted the mustached mayor's aide has a new replacement in this episode since he was killed in "Night of the Living Homeless".
  • Towelie is seen for the first time since "A Million Little Fibers". He is seen in the crowd debating that pot be legalized.
  • Members of the Chinese mafia from "Wing" can be seen at the shootout.
  • The scene with Randy tying to move after his balls fall out of the wheelbarrow was originally acted out by Trey using a large yoga ball. The animators took this video and animated it, almost frame-for-frame.
  • KFC is used in a similar way to cocaine in the episode, from workers cutting it to Cartman chopping it with a credit card and snorting it.

References to Popular Culture

  • This episode marks the fourth mention of KFC, but the second time in which KFC's importance to the boys is a driving story point.
  • Much of Cartman's story and his relationship with Colonel Sanders in this episode is a parody of assorted drug related movies, most prominently towards the end, which is an reference of the Scarface film.
  • Cartman makes numerous references to the March/April 2010 scandal in the Catholic Church that Pope Benedict XVI protected the priest that molested over 200 deaf boys, as well as other pedophile priests (which drew massive controversy).
  • Some scenes (especially when Cartman is talking to the Colonel in Corbin) are scene-for-scene recreations from Scarface. Even most of the original lines (albeit spoken by Cartman and Sanders) are used.
  • KFC is a world famous fast-food restaurant.
  • British celebrity chef Jamie Oliver and his attempts at getting America to move onto healthier foods is mentioned. He appears again in "Crème Fraiche" with similar motives.
  • Tommy's character, appearance, and personality are very similar to Tommy Vercetti, the main character in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
  • The song played when the men are bouncing across the screen on their balls is similar to the Baby Elephant Walk but the original is "Chicken on the Rocks" by Jean Jacques-Perry.
  • The way Randy and his friends bounce on their testicles is a reference to the toy called the Space Hopper or Hoppity-Hop.

Goofs

  • Despite Randy saying he wants to get pot for the Ziggy Marley concert, he sings "Buffalo Solider" which was a song by Bob Marley. Ziggy never recorded the song. (Unless it was undocumented and performed at a previous gig.)
  • The Marsh's microwave operates with the door open when they are designed not to activate unless closed to prevent radiation leaks, unless there are a few that allow it.
  • Since Ned has lost all or part of his larynx to cancer, he should be eligible already for medicinal marijuana (though his cancer may have long been removed or in remission).
  • When driving to the KFC after soccer practice, Randy drives the boys passed Tom's Rhinoplasty. In the first angle, it is on the passenger side, but in the next shot it appears on Randy's side.
